Software Engineering
We offer a four-year software engineering degree in Australia with professional accreditation. As well as sound skills in software development and coding, the program design recognises that software development is a complex task, and is more often than not done in a 'team' environment. As such we have special courses to help develop teamwork and leadership skills, both in terms of theory (case studies) and practically (in a laboratory setting, with software teams assigned to develop specific software applications).
Career opportunities
Career opportunities for the graduate in software engineering are considerable. With a sound knowledge of software specification for clients, the design process, and related technologies such as data communications, you will be able to seek employment in an industry area which interests you - from end-user software through to embedded systems and data communications/networking.
Research opportunities
Since this is a relatively new field, there are many possibilities for research to find new ways of developing and using software. Areas include human-computer interaction, software bug checking, and using computers to write software.
